Brief Description
CMX883, a full-function half-duplex audio and signalling processor IC for FRS and PMR446 type facilities
for both complex and simple end-designs. Under the control of the host µC, all voiceband requirements
are catered for: voiceband and sub-audio filtering, pre/de-emphasis, compression and expansion and
audio routing and global level setting with single or two-point modulation in the transmit path.
The combination of new and standard signalling functions of this product offer, under software control,
increased functionality, versatility and privacy. Standard Extended-Code CTCSS and DCS are integrated
with the new XTCSS code implementation. XTCSS provides additional and improved squelch-centred
privacy codes with the added advantage of ‘silent operation’; no annoying interference from other subaudio users. XTCSS fitted radios enjoy more privacy and flexibility of operation.
With ultra low power requirements and graduated powersave, this product only requires a smaller, lowerpower µC than existing FRS/PMR446 solutions. It is available in compact SSOP and TSSOP packages.

CMX883 Functions and Facilities
Half Duplex Operation
Working in a half duplex mode, when the product is in Tx the Rx sections can be powered down to
extend battery life, conversely in Rx major sections of the Tx can be treated in the same manner.
Serial Control and Data Interfaces
C-BUS: Serial control, data and command program interface compatible with SCI, SPI and Microwire
type interfaces.
Power Requirements and Economy
With an ultra low power requirement, the CMX883 operates from a single 2.7 to 3.6 Volt supply with
graduated ‘Sleep Mode’ powersaving facilities for both Rx and Tx modes.

Signalling:
XTCSS
A state-of-the-art (squelch) signalling format, employing both sub-audio (CTCSS) and in-band (XTC)
signalling concurrently, which offers more than twice as many privacy codes as standard CTCSS
operation and completely eliminates interference caused by other traffic on the channel (quiet operation).
Additionally, the XTCSS signalling can be employed as an over-air control for such features as voicecompression. XTCSS is fully compatible with both conventional and enhanced CTCSS signalling
operations and will implement the All Call Code function.
CTCSS
Zero ‘talkdown’ performance eliminates unwanted breaks in communication. The CMX883 is preprogrammed with 39 standard CTCSS (+ Notone and DCS ‘turn off’ tone) and 12 additional ‘split-tone’
frequencies. Any one of these can be selected for reception or transmission. Decoding is aided by the
use of adjustable decode bandwidths and threshold levels. Decoding is carried out rapidly thus avoiding
the loss of the beginning of speech or data signals. A CTCSS configuration of this product enables ‘Tone
Cloning’.
Two unique features of this product are its CTCSS ‘All Call Code’ and ‘All Codes Monitor’ modes:
All Call Code – transmissions using this code will be heard by all CMX883 enhanced radios regardless of
their selected CTCSS code. This provides an important benefit to both safety and convenience.
All Codes Monitor – selection of this code at the receiver enables all transmissions that are using a
CTCSS tone to be heard, and the tone number to be reported. Open channel noise or calls lacking
coding, will go unheard. This is a superior method of ‘channel monitoring’, which allows miscoded calls
from conventional CTCSS-party radios to be heard and directly responded to.

CMX883
DCS
The DCS code is in NRZ format and is transmitted at 134.4b/s in either 23 or 24 bit patterns. The code,
for transmission or reception is programmed via the host µC with the ‘turn off’ tone being supplied from
the CTCSS facility. Decoding is carried out rapidly thus avoiding the loss of the beginning of speech or
data signals.
Signal Monitor
An auxiliary circuit intended for the monitoring of any signal or level; both internal and external. This
function can be used in conjunction with the host µC to allow such activities as: VOX operation and/or the
‘wake-up’ of powered-down circuitry.
Audio Processing:
Adjustable Gain Input Amplifiers
Selectable, component adjustable inputs are available for microphone or line voiceband or discriminator
inputs. In either mode (Tx or Rx) the selected input can be further level adjusted under the control of the
host µC prior to signal or audio- processing.
Voiceband and Sub-Audio Filtering with Limiting
Both Rx and Tx paths present voiceband filtering; the Tx path filter can be configured to either 12.5 or 25
kHz channel spacing whilst the Rx path also includes a sub-audio passband filter.
Voiceband Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis
Voiceband pre-emphasis is selectable to either 12.5 or 25 kHz channel configurations in the Tx path; deemphasis at –6dB/ octave is selectable in the Rx path.
Software Adjustable Gains, Volume, Mixing and Routing
Providing total flexibility of operation, this product, under µC control has the ability to select and route
functions and audio and signal paths, set bandwidths and threshold levels, mix audio and sub bands and
vary both input and out gain/attenuation levels. Output levels from all analogue ports can be ‘ramped’ up
and down at independently programmed rates.
Attenuation-Adjustable Single/Two-Point Modulation Outputs
To facilitate a wide range of transmitter types, the CMX883 has the ability to provide, independently
programmable, modulation outputs; for single or two-point modulation schemes.
Scrambler
An optional frequency inversion scrambler is provided in both transmit and receive modes.

The gain should be such that the resultant output at the DISC_FB pin is within the discriminator input
signal range specified in section 1.8.1.
3.
R7 should be selected to provide the desired dc gain (assuming C6 is not present) of the microphone

CMX883
The circuit formed by D1, C9, C10, R9 and R10 is a peak detector, this is only required when the
signal monitor is connected to an ac signal (e.g. microphone or received signal). For a dc type
signal (e.g. RSSI) these components are not required. The values of C9 and R10 set the attack
time, C9 and R9 set the decay time. D1 can be any suitable small signal diode. R10 should be a
high enough value so as not to distort the signal source.

Resistors ±5%, capacitors and inductors ±20% unless otherwise stated.
Notes:
7. The inductors L1 and L2 can be omitted but this may degrade system performance.
It is important to protect the analogue pins from extraneous inband noise and to minimise the impedance
between the CMX883 and the supply and bias de-coupling capacitors. The de-coupling capacitors C11,
C12, C13 and C14 should be as close as possible to the CMX883, particularly C11 and C13. It is
therefore recommended that the printed circuit board is laid out with separate ground planes for the
VSS(A) and VSS(D) in the area of the CMX883, with provision to make a link between them close to the
CMX883.
VBIAS is used as an internal reference for detecting and generating the various analogue signals. It must
be carefully decoupled, to ensure its integrity, so apart from the decoupling capacitor shown, no other
loads should be connected. If VBIAS needs to be used to set the discriminator mid-point reference, it
must be buffered with a high input impedance buffer.
The single ended microphone input(s) and audio output must be ac coupled as shown, so their return
paths can be connected to VSS(A) without introducing dc offsets. Further buffering of the audio output is
advised.
The crystal X1 can be replaced with an external clock source if required/desired. The internal clock
generating circuit can be placed in power-save mode if the clock is provided externally.

General Description
The CMX883 is intended for use in half duplex analogue two way land mobile radio (LMR) equipment and
is particularly suited to enhanced MURS / GMRS / FRS terminal designs. The CMX883 provides radio
signal encoder and decoder functions for: Voice, in-band tones, XTCSS, CTCSS and DCS permitting
simple to sophisticated levels of tone control and data transfer. Power control facilities allow the device
to be placed in varying levels of sleep allowing the user to fine tune the power depending on system
requirements. The CMX883 includes a crystal clock generator, with buffered output, to provide a
common system clock if required. A block diagram of the CMX883 is shown in Figure 1.

Host Interface
A serial data interface (C-BUS) is used for command, status and data transfers between the CMX883 and
the host µC; this interface is compatible with microwire, SPI etc. Interrupt signals notify the host µC when
a change in status has occurred and the µC should read the status register across the C-BUS and
respond accordingly. Interrupts only occur if the appropriate mask bit has been set. See section 1.6.15.
Auxiliary (Signal Monitor) analogue signal
The CMX883 includes a Signal level monitor. This is an 8-bit successive approximation ADC and a two
level signal sensor. The two level sensor facility can be used in conjunction with the power saving mode
to wake up powered down blocks, and issue an interrupt on the IRQN line when the Signal exceeds the
preset threshold level. The auxiliary ADC voltage reference is taken directly from the VDD(A) supply, so
the Signal level being monitored should be derived from this supply voltage.

1.5.1
Sleep Mode and Auto Start Up
Power-on reset or C-BUS general reset places the CMX883 into sleep mode, which results in all internal
blocks, except the xtal clock circuit, being placed in power-saved mode. The xtal clock circuit can be
power-saved but this must be done by an explicit C-BUS command. Power saving is achieved by turning
off bias current sources or disabling local clocks, as appropriate.
During system standby periods, parts of the device can be put into sleep mode by the host to conserve
power. The Auxiliary ADC can be programmed so that when the level exceeds a threshold, an interrupt
is issued over the C-BUS and the selected mode (Tx or Rx) “woken up” within 400µs. If this time is too
long to ensure no part of the signal is lost, the DISC or MIC input and ADC path can be kept powered up
whilst in standby mode. The receive modes and transmit modes can also be activated by commands
from the C-BUS. On wake up, activation of the various signal path stages are phased appropriately to
avoid causing unwanted transients. More details are provided in section 1.6.4 on Signal Routing.
The CMX883 can be programmed to wake up its receive path automatically (automatic start-up) when the
DISC input level exceeds the ‘high’ level threshold. While the CMX883 is in automatic receive start-up
mode the DISC input must also be selected for the signal path. When not in automatic start-up mode it is
recommended that the required input is selected during Auxiliary ADC operation to avoid subsequent
switching of the input signal source.
1.5.2
Auxiliary ADC
This section of the CMX883 operates in both Tx and Rx modes and can be used to monitor one of 4
signal sources: Sig_Monitor pin, MIC1, Input_2 or DISC inputs. Activity on the selected input will
optionally issue an interrupt if host intervention is required. During idle periods the majority of the
CMX883 can be placed into low power mode. If monitoring ac signals connected to the Sig_Monitor pin
they must be rectified and filtered using passive external circuitry.
The Auxiliary ADC facility comprises an 8-bit ADC, a comparator, an 8-bit result data word and two 8-bit
threshold registers, one defining the ‘Signal high’ level and the other the ‘Signal low’ level. The two
threshold registers are combined into one 16-bit C-BUS register word. The ADC measures the Signal
level at intervals that are set by C-BUS command. It is advised that the interval be set to <125µs while
waiting for a new incoming signal so that the CMX883 and host µC can be powered up and put into the
correct mode in time to avoid missing any part of the signal. The default interval period following a reset
is 20.8µs. Power dissipation of the Auxiliary ADC can be reduced by increasing the conversion interval
time.
The result of the most recent Auxiliary ADC measurement can be read over the C-BUS whenever the
Signal Processing and Aux ADC circuits are powered up.
The Auxiliary ADC compares each conversion result with the values in the ‘Signal high’ or the ‘Signal low’
threshold registers. The CMX883 can, for example, issue an interrupt to the host µC to wake up the
receive path when the Auxiliary ADC input exceeds the ‘high’ level threshold. The CMX883 can also
issue an interrupt to the host µC to indicate a weak or absent signal when it falls below the ‘low’ level
threshold. This provides a user programmable hysteresis facility. The host must ensure that the value in
the ‘low’ register is always less than that of the ‘high’ register. The options for issuing interrupts and for
automatic start-up are selected by C-BUS command.
The Auxiliary ADC options are controlled by the $B2, $B3 and $C0 C-BUS registers.
The Auxiliary ADC requires the Auxiliary ADC, BIAS and Xtal clock to all be enabled in the Power Down
Control register.

Receive Mode
The CMX883 can receive voice and various signal formats: CTCSS tone, DCS code and XTCSS / Inband tones. Reception of each of these signal types can be independently enabled/disabled by C-BUS
command. If enabled, an interrupt will be issued to notify the host µC of the presence and type of the
incoming signal.
In receive mode the CMX883 performs signal type identification in 2 frequency bands, sub-audio (60 260Hz) and voice band (300 - 3kHz), to determine what type of signal is being received. When an
enabled signal is detected this will be indicated to the host over the C-BUS and the CMX883 will continue
to process the received signal in its band. Identification / process mode will continue in the other band.
The CMX883 can process voice and simultaneously identify and process at least 2 other signal types
(one in the sub-audio in parallel with one in the voice band). See Table 2 for valid combinations. These
combinations can be used with Voice Processing, if desired.
The receive gain and audio output amplifier gain can be adjusted by the host µC, via C-BUS command,
to provide receive signal level adjustment and output volume control or muting.

By disabling all the decoding modes, the device can be configured to receive voice only
signals with no decoding of the voice band, CTCSS or DCS signalling. This will result in reception of all
signals as if they are voice. In this case it is up to the user/host µC to respond appropriately to incoming
signals.
The CMX883 operates in half duplex, so whilst in receive mode the transmit path (microphone input and
modulator output amplifiers) can be disabled and powered down if required. The AUDIO output signal
level is equalised (to VBIAS) before switching between the audio port and the modulator ports, to minimise
unwanted audible transients. The Off/Power-save level of the modulator outputs is the same as the
VBIAS pin, so the audio output level must also be at this level before switching.

Receiving Voice Band Signals
When a voice based signal is being received, it is up to the µC, in response to signal status information
provided by the CMX883, to control muting/enabling of the voice band signal to the AUDIO output.
The discriminator path through the device has a programmable gain stage. Whilst in receive mode this
should normally be set to 0dB (the default) gain.
Receive Filtering
The incoming signal is filtered, as shown in Figure 5, to remove sub-audio components and to minimise
high frequency noise. When appropriate the voice signal can then be routed to the AUDIO output.

Rx Companding (Expanding)
The CMX883 incorporates an optional syllabic compandor in both transmit and receive modes. This
expands received voice band signals that have been similarly compressed in the transmitter to enhance
dynamic range. The compandor attack, decay and 0dB point are defined in section 1.8.1. See section
1.6.9 for details of how to control this function.
Audio De-Scrambling
The CMX883 incorporates an optional frequency inversion de-scrambler receive mode. This descrambles received voice band signals that have been scrambled in the transmitter. See section 1.6.9 for
details of how to control this function.

Receiving and Decoding CTCSS Tones
The CMX883 is able to accurately detect valid CTCSS tones quickly to avoid losing the beginning of
voice or possibly data transmissions, and is able to continuously monitor the detected tone with minimal
probability of falsely dropping out. The received signal is filtered in accordance with the template shown
in Figure 7, to prevent signals outside the sub-audio range from interfering with the sub-audio tone
detection.

Once a valid CTCSS tone has been detected, the voice band signal can be passed to the audio output.
The voice band signal is extracted from the received signal by band pass filtering as shown in Figure 5.
To help decode received CTCSS tones adjustable decoder bandwidths and threshold levels permit
decode certainty and signal to noise performance to be traded when congestion or range limits the
system performance. This entails setting the tone decoder bandwidth and threshold level in P2.1 of the
Programming register ($C8) and programming the Audio & Tx CTCSS Control register with the desired
tone.

Tone number 00 in the Tone Status register ($CC) indicates that none of the above subaudio
tones is being detected - see also section 1.6.19. If tone number 00 is programmed into the
Audio & Device Address Control register ($C2) only tone 40 will be scanned for - see note 2. If
CTCSS transmit is selected this tone setting will cause the CTCSS generator to output no
signal.
Tone number 40 provides an all user CTCSS tone option; regardless of the subaudio tones set,
the CMX883 will indicate to the host when this tone is detected whenever the CTCSS detector is
enabled. This feature is useful for implementing emergency type calls. e.g. all call.
Tone number 55 is reported in the Tone Status register ($CC), when CTCSS receive is enabled
and a subaudio tone is detected that does not correspond to the selected tone or the all-call tone
(tone number 40). This could be a tone in the subaudio band which is not in the table or a tone
in the table which is not the selected tone or all-call tone.

Receiving and Decoding DCS Codes
DCS Code is in NRZ format and transmitted at 134.4 ±0.4bps. The CMX883 is able to decode any 23 or
24 bit pattern in either of the two DCS modulation modes defined by TIA/EIA-603 and described in Table
4. The CMX883 can detect a valid DCS Code quickly enough to avoid losing the beginning of voice

To detect the pre-programmed DCS code the signal is low pass filtered to suppress all but the sub-audio
band using the filter shown in Figure 7. Further equalisation filtering, signal slicing and level detection
are done to extract the code being received. The extracted code is then matched with the programmed
23 or 24-bit DCS code to be recognised, in the order least significant first through to most significant DCS
code bit last. Table 5 shows a selection of valid 23-bit DCS codes, this does not preclude other codes
being programmed. Recognition of a valid DCS Code will be flagged if the decode is successful (3 or
less errors). A failure to decode is indicated by a '0' flag. This flag is updated after the decoding of every
4th bit of the incoming signal.
Once a valid DCS Code has been detected, the voice band signal can be passed to the AUDIO output
under the control of the host µC. The voice signal is extracted from the received input signal by band
pass filtering; see Figure 5.
More details for programming DCS Codes are provided in section 1.6.20.3.
The end of DCS transmissions is indicated by a 134.4 ±0.5Hz tone for 150-200ms. Detection of the turn
off tone is enabled whenever DCS receive is active. To detect the DCS turn off tone while receiving
DCS, the DCS turn off tone option must be selected in the Audio and CTCSS Control ($C2) register and
CTCSS receive must also be enabled.

Receiving and Decoding In-band Tones
In-band tones can be used to flag the start of a call or to confirm the end of a call. If they occur during a
call the tone may be audible at the receiver. When enabled, an interrupt will be issued when a signal
matching a valid In-band tone is detected and when a present In-band tone turns off or changes (i.e. at
the start and at the end of each In-band tone).
The CMX883 implements QTC coding using the EEA tone set. Other addressing and data formats can
be implemented but will require more host intervention. The custom tones (1-4) permit other audio tones
to be encoded or decoded, the frequency of each tone is defined in the program registers P1.2-5.
In receive the CMX883 scans through the tone table sequentially, the code reported will be the first one
that matches the incoming frequency.
Adjustable decoder bandwidths, threshold levels are programmable via the Programming register and
permits certainty of detection and signal to noise performance to be traded when congestion or range
limits the system performance. The In-band signal is derived from the received input signal after the
band pass filtering shown in Figure 5.

Special tones 1-4 provide user programmable tone options for both transmit and receive modes
as set in the indicated Program register, for programming information see section 1.6.20.2.
Normal tone 14 is the repeat tone, this code is must be used in transmit when the new code to
be sent is the same as the previous one. e.g. to send ‘333’ the sequence ‘3R3’ should be sent,
where ‘R’ is the repeat tone. When receiving Selcall tones the CMX883 will indicate the repeat
tone when it is received, it is up to the host to interpret this and decode tones accordingly.

Receiving XTCSS Signals
The CMX883 can decode and monitor for XTCSS signalling. XTCSS is used to identify the start and
optionally the end of voice/data/other calls. It provides additional information and control over the basic
CTCSS method of channel coding.
XTCSS coding starts with a 4 tone sequence indicating the address and content of the following
message. Immediately after the 4 tone sequence a sub-audio maintenance tone is sent for the duration
of the call. At the end of the call the maintenance tone is removed and an optional 4 tone sequence sent
indicating the end of message (EOM). For further details on XTCSS see section 1.5.5.
By enabling XTCSS reception the host instructs the CMX883 to search for a valid 4 tone sequence, an
interrupt (if enabled) will be generated when this occurs. The 4 tone sequence will be indicated in the CBUS register ($C9) for the host to read out using the tone numbers in Table 6.
The sub-audio tone will be searched for after a valid 4 tone In-band sequence if CTCSS detection is also
enabled. CTCSS codes will be decoded and reported as defined in section 1.5.3.2. It is not necessary to
enable CTCSS in the Mode Control register for the device to search for the XTCSS sub audio tone.
In receive, whenever the XTCSS detect bit is set the CMX883 will search for a valid 4 tone In-band
sequence however detection of a CTCSS tone will inhibit the search for 4 tone sequences. To be valid
the 4 tones must be preceded and followed by silence in the audio band (signals below the audio detect
level - see program register P1.1) for the programmed no tone time. The presence (or absence) of the
sub-audio maintenance tone will only be indicated to the host if the CTCSS detect bit is also set. After
the 4 tone sequence is detected the maintenance tone can be used by the host to detect fades and the
end of the message and hence can disable the audio path in sympathy with this tone being absent. At
any time the XTCSS enable bit is set and maintenance tone is not decoded the 4 tone set will be
automatically searched for.
It is possible (although unlikely) that a fade will exactly coincide and obliterate 2 lots of 4 tone sequence
indicating an EOM and the start of a new message. In this case, the host could misinterpret the received
signal as a long fade and enable the voice when the maintenance tone reappears. It is therefore
recommended that the host operates a timer that is started on loss of maintenance tone. If this times out
the host can then assume that the fade is long enough that the original call is lost or has become so
corrupted that it is not worth continuing with. The host could then choose only to restore the audio path
on the next occurrence of a valid XTCSS tone set. Note that the XTCSS detector operates independently
and the host may enable or disable the audio path at any time.

Transmit Mode
The device operates in half duplex, so when the device is in transmit mode the receive path
(discriminator and audio output amplifiers) should be disabled, and can be powered down, by the host
µC.
Two modulator outputs with independently programmable gains are provided to facilitate single or twopoint modulation, separate sub-audio and voice band outputs. If one of the modulator outputs is not used
it can be disabled to conserve power.
To avoid erroneous transmission of out of band frequencies when changing from Rx to Tx the MOD_1
and MOD_2 outputs are ramped to the quiescent modulator output level, VBIAS before switching.
Similarly, when starting a transmission, the transmitted signal strength is ramped up from the quiescent
VBIAS level and when ending a transmission the transmitted signal strength is ramped down to the
quiescent VBIAS level. The ramp rates are set in the Programming register P4.6. When the modulator
outputs are disabled, their outputs will be set to VBIAS. When the modulator output drivers are powered
down, their outputs will be floating (high impedance), so the RF modulator will need to be turned off.

bands. To achieve attenuation above 3kHz of better than −100dB/decade for TIA/EIA-603 ‘C’ bands
(dashed outline), additional external circuitry is required, such as suggested in section 1.4.2.

Modulator Output Routing
The sub-audio component can be combined with the voice band signal and this composite signal routed
to both MOD_1 and MOD_2 outputs, or the sub-audio and voice band signal can be output separately
(sub-audio to MOD_2 and voice band to MOD_1), in accordance with the settings of the Signal Routing
register ($B1).
Tx Companding (Compressing)
The CMX883 incorporates an optional syllabic compandor in both transmit and receive modes. This
compresses voice band signals before transmission to enhance dynamic range. The compandor attack,
decay and 0dB point are defined in section 1.8.1. See section 1.6.9 for details of how to control this
function.
Audio Scrambling
The CMX883 incorporates an optional frequency inversion scrambler in transmit mode. This scrambles
voice band signals to be de-scrambled in the receiver. See section 1.6.9 for details of how to control this
function.
Voice Processing Combinations
Table 1 shows the valid voice processing combinations (see section 1.5).
1.5.4.2 CTCSS Tone
The sub-audio CTCSS tone generated is defined in the Tx CTCSS register ($C2). Table 3 lists the
CTCSS tones and the corresponding value for programming the TX TONE bits.
1.5.4.3
DCS Code
A 23 or 24-bit sub-audio DCS Code can be generated, as defined by the ‘DCS Code’ words (P2.4-5) of
the Programming register ($C8); the same DCS Code pattern is used for detection and transmission.
The DCS Code is NRZ encoded at 134.4±0.4 bits/s, low pass filtered and added to the voice band signal,
prior to passing the signal to the modulator output stages. Valid 23-bit DCS codes and the corresponding
settings for the DCS Code Register are shown in Table 5, this does not preclude other codes being
programmed. The least significant bit of the DCS code is transmitted first and the most significant bit is
transmitted last. The CMX883 is able to encode and transmit either of the two DCS modulation modes
defined by TIA/EIA-603 and described in Table 4.

FRS Signalling Processor
CMX883
To signal the end of the DCS transmission, the host should set the special sub-audio bits in the Audio &
CTCSS Control register ($C2) to enable the DCS turn off tone for 150ms to 200ms. After this time period
has elapsed the host should then disable DCS in the Mode register ($C1). Do not enable CTCSS in the
Mode Control ($C1) register when transmitting the DCS turn off tone. To summarize, detection of DCS
turn off tone requires the CTCSS decoder to be enabled, whereas generation of the DCS turn off tone
requires the CTCSS encoder to be disabled.
1.5.4.4
Transmitting In-band Tones
The In-band tone to be generated is defined in the Tx Tone register ($C3). The tone level is set in the
Programming register (P1.4). The In-band tone must be transmitted without other signals in the voice
band, so the host µC must disable the voice path prior to initiating transmission of a In-band tone, and
restore the voice path after the In-band tone transmission is complete. Table 6 shows valid In-band
tones, together with the values for programming the In-band bits of the Tx Tone register.
Custom In-band tone frequencies are set in the program register ($C8) P1.6-9. See section 1.6.20.2 for
programming details.
1.5.4.5
Transmitting XTCSS Signalling
XTCSS signals can be transmitted by loading the 4 tone pattern and CTCSS tone into the C-BUS
registers and enabling XTCSS. The device will transmit the 4 tones in sequence, raise an interrupt when
this is complete and then automatically generate the CTCSS tone (if enabled). At the end of the
message the CTCSS tone can be disabled by setting the CTCSS enable bit to '0'. The XTCSS 4 tone
sequence must be transmitted on its own, so if a voice or a data signal is being transmitted, this must be
disabled during the XTCSS 4 tone transmission. See section 1.5.5 for more information.
1.5.5
XTCSS Coding
The CMX883 allows addressed calling using a 4 tone In-band tone burst followed by an optional subaudio ‘XTCSS maintenance tone’ (at 64.7Hz). In transmit the CMX883 handles the transmission of the 4
tone sequence and the sub-audio tone. In receive the CMX883 will search for valid In-band tone
sequences containing the previously programmed address.
The over air signalling of XTCSS is shown below:
XTCSS sub-audio
A
In-band tones
A1 A0 S0 S1
B
Voice / Data
Notes:
• To reduce 'cut on' time with XTCSS voice calls, the host can enable the receive audio path at 'B'
(as soon as the 4 tone sequence is available), before the sub-audio is detected.
• XTCSS 4 tone sequences must be prefixed and suffixed with a silent 'no-tone' period of at least
the length of each tone. See also programming register P1.1.
In-band tones A1 and A0 are the BCD (binary coded decimal) representation of the Device Address bits
of $C2 register, the valid XTCSS address range is 01 to 99, A0 is the least significant digit. The XTCSS
address '40' is reserved for an all call address - regardless of the XTCSS address being searched for the
CMX883 will always indicate when a valid 4 tone set containing address '40' has been received.
In transmit the CMX883 will only generate the sub-audio maintenance tone when the CTCSS enable bit is
set to '0'. The sub-audio tone (if enabled) will be automatically output after the 4th XTCSS tone has been
transmitted. An XTCSS interrupt is generated (if enabled) at point 'A' - see diagram above, the host
should then wait before enabling the audio path (or transmitting data) to ensure sufficient no-tone suffix to
the XTCSS 4 tone set. To summarize, detection of XTCSS sub-audio maintenance tone requires the

C-BUS Operation
This block provides for the transfer of data and control or status information between the CMX883’s
internal registers and the µC over the C-BUS serial interface. Each transaction consists of a single
Register Address byte sent from the µC which may be followed by one or more data byte(s) sent from the
µC to be written into one of the CMX883’s Write Only Registers, or one or more data byte(s) read out
from one of the CMX883’s Read Only Registers, as illustrated in Figure 11.
Data sent from the µC on the Command Data line is clocked into the CMX883 on the rising edge of the
Serial_Clock input. Reply Data sent from the CMX883 to the µC is valid when the Serial_Clock is high.
The CSN line must be held low during a data transfer and kept high between transfers. The C-BUS
interface is compatible with most common µC serial interfaces and may also be easily implemented with
general purpose µC I/O pins controlled by a simple software routine.
The number of data bytes following an A/C byte is dependent on the value of the A/C byte. The most
significant bit of the address or data are sent first. For detailed timings see section 1.8.1.

3. The CMD_DATA and REPLY_DATA lines are never active at the same time. The Address byte
determines the data direction for each C-BUS transfer.
4. The Serial_Clock input can be high or low at the start and end of each C-BUS transaction.

Interrupt Operation
The CMX883 will issue an interrupt on the IRQN line when the IRQ bit (bit 15) of the Status register and
the IRQ Mask bit (bit 15) are both set to ‘1’. The IRQ bit is set when the state of the interrupt flag bits in
the Status register change from a '0' to a '1' and the corresponding mask bit(s) in the Interrupt Mask
register is(are) set.
All interrupt flag bits in the Status register except the Programming Flag (bit 0) are cleared and the
interrupt request is cleared following the command/address phase of a C-BUS read of the flag register.
The Programming Flag bit is cleared only when it is permissible to write a new word to the Programming
register.

Following a C-BUS reset all of the programming registers (P0 – P4) are reset to zero.
The transmit limiter value is initialised to the maximum limit.
To initialise the device following power-up, or to clear the current device state, apply the following
sequence of C-Bus actions:
1. Send a C-Bus Reset command.
2. Send $2001 to the Mode Control register (C-Bus address $C1).
3. Send $0000 to the Mode Control register.
The device is now ready to be configured for its next application.

Bits 15 and 11 set the phase of the MOD_1 and MOD_2 outputs. When set to '0' the 'true' signal (0°

useful when interfacing with rf circuitry or when generating an inverted turn off tone for CTCSS. Any
change will take place immediately after these bits are changed.
The output paths provide user programmable attenuation stages to independently adjust the output levels
of the modulators. Finer level control of the MOD_1 and MOD_2 outputs can be achieved with the FINE

Conversion Interval
The ‘Conversion Interval’ (bits 5 to 0) defines the time between measurements whilst the Auxiliary ADC is
enabled. This allows the user to trade-off device power consumption with response time.
(approximate)
= 0.5mW/VDD(A)/conversion
(approximate)
= 20.8µs per LSB.
The user should set an interval to ensure that no part of a received signal is missed, so that the signal
type can be correctly identified. If using the Rx Auto start-up feature the recommended maximum
Conversion Interval is 125µs. The ‘Auxiliary ADC’ register must not be updated whilst the Aux ADC is
enabled.

The Aux ADC i/p select (bits 7 to 6) control the input to the Auxiliary ADC. Control is independent of the
Analogue i/p select bits and hence the Aux ADC can monitor any one of the 4 inputs independently.

Bits 15 to 5 provide the power control of the specified blocks. If a bit is '1', the corresponding block is on,
else it is powered down. A C-BUS or Power up reset clears all bits in this register to '0'.
If bit 5 is '0' the internal signal processing blocks are reset and placed into a power-save mode.
Bit 4 should be set to a '1' if any of the program registers (1.6.20) have been programmed as this
prevents them being reset after a Rx Auto start-up or when the Signal Processing blocks come out of
power save. If bit 4 is set to '0' the program registers will be reset to the C-BUS or Power-up reset state
whenever the Signal Processing blocks come out of power save.
Bits 3 and 2 control the xtal clock circuit. The xtal circuit is powered down by setting bit 3 to '1'. Note:
The Clock/Xtal pin may be driven by an external clock source regardless of the setting of these bits. The
Clock_Out pin is disabled (held low) by setting bit 2 to ‘1’. After a Power-up or C-BUS reset bits 2 and 3
are cleared to ‘0’, so that both the xtal circuit and clock output are enabled.
Bit 1 controls the Auxiliary ADC. If set to '1' the Auxiliary ADC will generate interrupts in accordance with
the settings of the interrupt mask bits. If bit 1 is '0' the Auxiliary ADC is disabled and powered down.
Bit 0 controls Rx Auto start up. If bit 0 is set to '1' and the Aux ADC input rises above the ‘High
Threshold’ the device will automatically enter receive mode and initiate Rx signal type identification for
those signals enabled in the Mode register. The correct Aux ADC input, Rx signal routing and power
down bits must be set for automatic receive start up to operate, the mode control bits should be set to '00'
in this case. If bit 0 is cleared to '0' the CMX883 will not automatically start-up and it is up to the host to
respond to Aux ADC interrupts in this case. Bit 0 must be set to '0' whilst writing through register $C8 Programming Register.

that are successfully decoded. See also Table 2 in section 1.5.3.
In transmit mode the CMX883 begins transmission of a selected signal immediately after it has been
enabled. The host µC must ensure all associated data and control bits have been set to their required

CMX883
The Mode Control register ($C1) may be written to at any time (subject to C-BUS timing restrictions). If
the enable bit of the currently decoded signal is disabled whilst in phase 2 the CMX883 will return to
phase 1 for that band. If the same signal needs to be searched for again then the appropriate bit needs
to be set back to ‘1’ in $C1. However, to de-emphasise in-band tones, bit 15 must be set to ‘1’.
The CMX883 will only detect signals when their amplitude is above the threshold set for each band (subaudio and voice), as set in the program registers. Therefore even if valid tones or signals are present the
CMX883 will ignore them unless they exceed the detect threshold. Time and level hysteresis is applied
to reduce chattering in marginal conditions.

Device Address
Bit 14 controls the audio band scrambler. When set to ‘1’ voice signals are scrambled, by frequency
inversion, in transmit and receive modes. When set to ‘0’ no scrambling is performed.
Bits 7 to 0 define the device address. This setting is used for the CTCSS and XTCSS address in both Tx
and Rx modes. The range of valid addresses is: CTCSS tone (1-51 in decimal) and XTCSS (1-99 in
decimal). In Tx this number will be used to select the addressing of the enabled signal, if the address is
outside the valid range no signalling will occur. In Rx this address (along with the all call address of '40')
will be searched for each signalling format enabled in the Mode register, the detected signal type will be
reported in the Status register $C6 and the address will be indicated in the XTCSS Rx Data register $C9
or the Tone Status register $CC.
Bits 9 to 8 select special sub-audio tones in accordance with the following table. Selecting the ‘DCS turn
off tone’ during DCS transmit will cause the DCS turn off tone to be transmitted; this will override the
DCS data being transmitted. ‘DCS turn off tone’ must be selected in this register to enable detection of
the DCS turn off tone during receive. To transmit the 64.7Hz XTCSS maintenance tone, XTCSS transmit
must be selected in the Mode Control register and XTCSS maintenance tone must be selected in this
register. Transmission of the maintenance tone overrides any other CTCSS tone being transmitted. The
XTCSS maintenance tone decoder is enabled by selecting XTCSS receive mode, so it is not necessary to
TM
select the XTCSS maintenance tone in this register when receiving. If the Tone Clone mode is
selected this allows the device in Rx to non-predictively detect any CTCSS frequency in the range of
valid tones, the received tone number will be reported in the Tone Status register $CC.

Audio Tone
When the required bits of the Mode Control register ($C1) are set an audio tone will be generated with
the frequency set by bits (11-0) of this register in accordance with the formula below. If bits 11-0 are
programmed with '0' no tone (i.e. Vbias) will be generated when the Audio Tone is enabled.
frequency = Audio Tone (i.e. 1Hz per LSB)
The Audio Tone frequency must only be set to generate frequencies from 300Hz to 3000Hz.
The host must suppress other voice band signalling and set the correct audio routing before generating
an audio tone and re-enable signalling and audio routing on completion of the audio tone. The timing of
intervals between these actions is also controlled by the host µC.
This register may be written to whilst the audio tone is being generated, any change in frequency will take
place after the end of the C-BUS write to this register. This allows complex sequences (e.g. ring or alert
tunes) to be generated for the local speaker (Tx or Rx via the AUDIO pin) or transmitted signal (Tx via
the MOD1/2 pins).

This word holds the current status of the CMX883: the value read out is only valid when bit 5 of the Power
Down Control register ($C0) is set to '1'. Changes in the Status register will cause the IRQ bit (bit 15) to
be set to '1' if the corresponding interrupt mask bit is enabled. An interrupt request is issued on the IRQN
pin when the IRQ bit is '1' and the IRQ MASK bit (bit 15 of register $CE) is set to '1'.
Bits 1 to 15 of the Status register are cleared to '0' after the Status register is read. Bit 0 is only cleared
by writing to the Programming Register.
Bits 14 and 7 to 1 are reserved.
Bits 13, 11 and 10 indicate that a In-band tone, CTCSS or DCS event caused the interrupt, the host
should then read the Tones Status register ($CC) for further information. In transmit these bits will be set
to '0'. Detection of the DCS turn off tone and removal of DCS turn off tone are both flagged as DCS
events in the Status register not as CTCSS events. The assertion or removal of the ‘XTCSS Maintenance
Tone’ (64.7Hz) is flagged as a CTCSS event.
In receive bit 12 indicates that a valid XTCSS 4 tone set with the correct addressing (see $C2) has been
detected, the 4 received tones are indicated in $CB. In Tx mode bit 12 will be set to '1' at the end of the

4 XTCSS tone transmitted.
Aux ADC High (bit 9) and Aux ADC Low (bit 8) reflect the recent history of the Aux ADC level, with

Detected CTCSS code
This word holds the current status of the CMX883 sub-audio and In-band tone sections. This word should
be read by the host after an interrupt caused by a DCS, CTCSS or In-band tone event.
The value in bits 5 to 0, Detected CTCSS code, identifies the detected sub-audio tone by its position in
Table 3 CTCSS Tones. If bits 5 to 0 = '000000' there is no CTCSS tone currently being detected. If bits
5 to 0 = '110111' (= 55 in decimal) this indicates that an Invalid Tone has been detected. An Invalid Tone
is any tone in the subaudio band which is not the selected subaudio tone nor the all-call tone, or is a tone
not listed in Table 3. A change in the state of bits 5-0 to Invalid Tone from the no tone condition will not
cause Status register ($C6), b11 to be set to '1'. Any other change in the state of bits 5-0 will cause the
Status register ($C6), b11 to be set to '1'.
A detected In-band frequency is indicated by the value in bits 15 to 11, ‘Detected In-band tone
frequency’, identifies the frequency by its position in Table 6 In-band Tones. If bits 15 to 11 = '00000'
there is no In-band tone currently being detected. A change in the state of bits 15 to 11 will cause bit 13
of the Status register ($C6), ‘In-band tone State Change’, to be set to '1'.
Bits 10 to 8 indicate the DCS and special sub-audio tone status. The Status register ($C6) will indicate
the type of signal detected. If DCS or special CTCSS tones are detected they will be indicated in bits 10
to 8 according to the table below and bits 7 to 0 will be set to '00000000'. If a normal CTCSS tone is
detected bits 10 to 8 will be set to '000' and bits 7 to 0 will indicate the decoded tone. A change in the
state of bits 10 to 8 will cause the relevant bit (10 or 11) of the Status register to be set to '1'.

During the DCS receive, the device can flag an interrupt when the DCS code fails to be recognised. This
may be due to code dropout. The turn off tone may be flagged shortly after, if the transmission is ending.
Alternatively the DCS link may be restored and DCS detection will be flagged again.

Programming Data
This register is used for programming various gains, levels, offset compensations, tones and codes. If
the user programs any of these values then bit 4 of $C0 (Power Down Control) must be set to '1'.
Following a C-BUS Reset or a Power Up Reset, the programmed values are initialised in accordance with
the settings described in section 1.6.2 (C-BUS Reset).
The Signal Processing function and the XTAL clock circuit must both be enabled in order to write to the
Programming Register, so Power Down Control register bit 5 must be set to '1' and bit 3 must be set to
'0'.
The Programming Register should only be written to when the Programming Flag bit (bit 0) of the Status
register is set to '1' and the Rx and Tx modes are disabled (bits 0 and 1 of the Mode Control register both
'0'). The Programming Flag is cleared when the Programming Register is written to. When the
corresponding programming action has been completed (normally within 250µs) the CMX883 will set the
flag back to '1' to indicate that it is now safe to write the next programming value. The Programming
Register must not be written to while the Programming Flag bit is '0'. Programming is done by writing a
sequence of 16-bit words to the Programming Register, in the order shown in the following tables.
Writing data to the Programming Register must be performed in the order shown for each of the blocks,
however the order in which the blocks are written is not critical. If later words in a block do not require
updating the user may stop programming that block when the last change has been performed. e.g. If
only 'Fine output gain 1' needs to be changed the host will need to write to P4.0, P4.1 and P4.2 only.
The user must not exceed the defined word counts for each block. The word P4.8 is allocated for
production testing and must not be accessed in normal operation.
The high order bits of each word define which block the word belongs to, and if it is the first word of that
block:

resolution of VDD(A)/2048 per LSB (1.465mV per LSB at VDD(A)=3V). Valid range for this value is 0 to
1536.
Bit 0 controls Rx In-band tone de-emphasis. When set to '0' the signal going to the In-band tone detector
is not de-emphasised. When voice processing is enabled in the Mode register, de/pre-emphasis is
enabled in the Audio & Device Address register and this bit (b0) is set to '1', signals going to the In-band
tone detector are de-emphasised in accordance with Figure 6.

XTCSS tone length (bits 11 to 10) set the transmit tone length for each of the 4 tones in a XTCSS
sequence. In receive these bits define the minimum silent prefix and suffix qualification periods for
successful reception, also the maximum receive tone length is double the time set (e.g. for 60ms setting
each received tone must be less than 120ms in length for successful XTCSS decoding). '00' = 40ms,
'01' = 60ms, '10' = 80ms and '11' = 100ms.
The ‘detect threshold’ bits (bits 9 to 4) set the minimum In-band tone signal level that will be detected.
The levels are set according to the formula:
Minimum Level = Detect Threshold × 3.63mV rms at VDD(A) = 3V
(2.93mV per LSB at VDD(A)=3V)
The In-band detected bandwidth is set in accordance with the following table:

These words set the programmable In-band tones used in transmit and receive. The frequency is set in
bits 11-0 for each word according to the formula:
N = Integer part of (0.042666 x frequency)
R = (0.042666 x frequency - N) x 6000 / frequency (round to nearest integer)
Example: For 1010Hz, N = 43, R = 1. The programmed tones must only be set to frequencies from

The Subaudio Drop Out Time defines the time that the sub-audio signal detection can drop out before
loss of sub-audio is asserted. The period is set according to the formula:
Time = Subaudio Drop Out Time × 8.0ms
[range 0 to 120ms]
The setting of this register defines the maximum drop out time that the device can tolerate. The setting of
this register also determines the de-response time, which is typically 40ms longer than the programmed
drop out time.

This unsigned number sets the clipping point (maximum deviation from the centre value) for the MOD_1
and MOD_2 pins. The maximum setting ($2000) is +/- VDD(A)/2 i.e. output limited from 0 to VDD(A).
Any settings above $2000 will limit to the $2000 setting. The limiter is set to maximum following a C-BUS
Reset or a Power Up Reset. The limiter is only applied to voice signals, not internally generated audio
band signals. The levels of internally generated signals must be limited by setting appropriate transmit
levels.

1. Depending on the command, 1 or 2 bytes of COMMAND DATA are transmitted to the
peripheral MSB (Bit 7) first, LSB (Bit 0) last. REPLY DATA is read from the peripheral
MSB (Bit 7) first, LSB (Bit 0) last.
2. Data is clocked into the peripheral on the rising SERIAL_CLOCK edge.
3. Commands are acted upon at the end of each command (rising edge of CSN).
4. To allow for differing µC serial interface formats C-BUS compatible ICs are able to work
with SERIAL_CLOCK pulses starting and ending at either polarity.
5. Maximum 30pF load on IRQN pin and each C-BUS interface line.
These timings are for the latest version of C-BUS and allow faster transfers than the original C-BUS
timing specification. The CMX883 can be used in conjunction with devices that comply with the slower
timings, subject to system throughput constraints.
